Well, a new TDA would have aired by now in Canada if that in fact happened. I guess I'll find out around midnight-ish when I go around looking for torrents.

Haha, I was pretty amused that I was right in pegging Ulala as Ursula, though I think a lot of people predicted that, so it's hardly something to be proud of. XD Good lord she was awesome, though. By far Dawn's best one-shot rival and one that deserves to be a regular. With Conway. That would be pure madness.

Anyway, seeing that Contest episode did a lot to inspire me for how to handle my own in Chapter 9. I think I'm also going to alter the timeline a bit.

( Meaning Trifecta 9 spoilers, ohmahgawwwwds )

Like I said, with this much future planning, a LOT is subject to change for the future chapters, but now I have some ideas for the story all the way to Chapter 20 now! Bear in mind I'm still just on Chapter 9!

Chapter 9 is 11k words, by the way. I've just now finished the Reggie scene, which is why I wanted to revamp the Trifecta timeline, because I did alter one thing after seeing the episodes.

It's probably just a minor thing, but due to how long it would probably take for Paul to recover from two nasty blows to the head, stage 2 hypothermia and frostbite, and the general things you have to recover from after falling off a cliff... I decided that I would have the Chocovine Contest occur before the Plumeria Contest, rather than afterwards like I initially planned. This just makes things flow a little better continuity-wise and it feels more realistic this way. I wanted to make sure I had that confirmed before I go ahead and start writing the Contest segment. Plus, this means I can make direct references to Another One Gabites the Dust! and insert some of that delicious one-sided HeatTagshipping. ♥

I totally forgot to at first, but for the me-made rivals-of-the-episode, I need to decide on their Pokemon for the battle rounds. I've decided Janelle would have Monferno for the Appeal round, and Mina would have Gible. For the battle round... well, I'd like Janelle to have another Fire-type. With Mina, anything goes, I suppose. As long as it's a sucky Pokemon, because Mina's gimmick is to be a very submissive parallel to Conway, as Janelle is to Paul in some twisted way. You know, the big nasty bully + eager-to-please nerdy sidekick.

Still, having watched Another One Gabites the Dust! now, I have some great ideas for Appeals, so hopefully this is gonna be awesome once I have it written out. 9's felt like such a goddamn drag so far. We need some excitement, dammit...!

Now if only RP would not distract me so much~. It's just way too fun having a Paul that makes the ladies cry and trolls every Ash he sees and has eerie sexy times with Silver, which proves what a narcissist Paul truly is.

Gawh, it feels so good to be bad.

Okay, that's all for now!

Currently hoarding all of my colored arts and sketches in my LJ Gallery.x_x;; Didn't expect it will take this long. I couldn't do much cause of this. (Internet is super slow as well. *kicks*)
I'm trying to save all of those folders with a few pics first (currently in Wild Arms folder). Will be going for the big files next time, like the ToA and ToI folders.e_e

BTW, Estelle is so adorable in my new icon.8D;; OMG. I wanna listen to ToV Drama CD.x_x;; And... TOO AMUSED with the PS3 ToV cover.>.>;; RavenXFlynn.<3<3<3
Nobody ASK me what are my thoughts about Tear-costume of Estelle's. It doesn't suit her... and I'm NOT a fan of AschXTear so... meh.x_x;;

Don't ask about ToVS. I'm too depressed about the charas who got it.Xp I seriously wanted Judas NOT Lion for some strange reason... (Maybe I wanted Stan to avenge Lion...?)

I want ToV badly.Dx But we're kinda leaning on Wii cause of... Tales of Graces, Final Fantasy IV the After and that new FMA RPG.>.>;;

PS3 or Wii... PS3 is at least 2k more expensive than Wii here. Hah, as if we could buy either. We're going for a new compy first.

So I am still in a terrible inspiration swing in the end. Guess WHAT I'm drawing now?x_x;; Really random...
Haven't been online for-- 3 weeks or more, I think? Wow. I am so depressed.

Okay what the hell, Teletoon. No new TDA last weekend? What about this weekend? See, it's odd because it's well known by now they're on this cycle of showing a new episode every week for six weeks - then they rerun those episodes for another 6 weeks - then they go on a cycle of new ones for 6 weeks. That's how it's been since TDA started in January in Canada.

So on June 28th, we were due for the third cycle of new episodes starting with Ocean's Eight - Or Nine. We got that, Courtney's back, yaaaayz. So the following weekend we get... no new episode at all...? What...?

Hoping this isn't some sick new trend they're starting, or even worse, that they're waiting for the USA to catch up. Seriously, why. There's no point in that. J-just give me new episodes already, dammit. ♥;

It's just especially grating since no one has any idea what's coming after this. I'm glad I'm sorta taking a break from TDW right now because it would just be madness to go into that, knowing of all the rumors going into the 14th episode. For some reason the bullshit-makers are very adamant about having Cody return. I have no idea why. I like Cody as much as the next guy (okay, maybe not as much because that kid has scary fangirls), but of all people TO bring back, I don't think he'd really set the world on fire. Not without Noah, anyway~. There's also rumors of Izzy returning again, which is a rumor I wouldn't mind being true since Izzy's my favorite and she can get eliminated all she wants... and the other rumor being LeShawna's the next on the chopping block, which wouldn't be a surprise considering they've been foreshadowing this for quite a few episodes now.

I suspect with Courtney back now, though, the Killer Grips will get their much-overdue hurrah before the teams merge. And that'll somehow lead to LeShawna and Heather getting picked off, and that'll leave us with what the spoilers initially left for us: Duncan, Harold, Courtney, Justin, Beth, and Lindsay.

Other than Izzy, I would have wanted Duncan or Harold to win. Problem being, I'm not sure if they'll try to be "fair" and let a girl win overall this time since Owen won last season. Justin is for-sure staying until the final three, certainly. As far as the girls are concerned, I really don't want Beth or Lindsay to win. I never really cared much for Beth, as she's not really that easy to relate to and she's always been near the bottom of the totem pole as far as favorites are concerned. Lindsay winning would be amusing, but she's sort of turned into a bitch during the recent episodes. So it wouldn't be as awesome as it once was, barring the possibility of her changing down the road.

That would leave Courtney, who's sort of the wildcard considering she just got back. We're still not really sure how intact the Duncan/Courtney relationship is at this point (considering Courtney sort of backstabbed Duncan the last time they truly interacted), or how this would affect Harold's longevity in the game. I'd more realistically see Harold getting further than Duncan, though, since Duncan lasted until the final four last season. And since TDA's been hot on breaking up the canon couples this time around (not necessarily a bad thing, in my opinion), it wouldn't be surprising if they broke up Duncan and Courtney now that she's just gotten back.

There's also the matter of Total Drama: The Musical, aka the third season. I think it was confirmed by a writer of the show that it will consist of both new and old characters, so one has to think... how will the winning segue into a new season? Owen was enough of a team player to give up his $10,000 to compete for $1,000,000... buuuuut, who amongst the remaining characters would do that for another go-around?

Honestly, the only person I can see doing that is Izzy, solely because she is insane. She would either do that or buy the show and turn it into a musical. I think kyosukekusaragi and I talked about this before about the hypothetical ending. I think it was something about it coming down to Courtney and Justin and then Izzy swoops in out of nowhere and makes the finals include three competitors. And she sorta comes in out of nowhere to win the whole thing.

I wouldn't mind that, really. I love Izzy enough that she could get away with everything as far as I'm concerned. ♥ I mean, I love Courtney too and I don't suppose I would mind her winning, but I'm just not sure how that would play off. Really, the ones who are still in the game that deserve to win are guys again. Harold's been a huge protagonist this season and he's seriously gotten super-awesome, so it almost feels like he should win. He's sort of odd enough to do something weird like a musical with his winnings, I guess.

Have I mentioned what mad shippings I support largely because of TDA now? Even though Gwen isn't nearly my favorite character (she's somewhere in the middle), I'm making her a huge whore because I love shipping her with DJ and Harold in addition with Duncan and I'm still okay with her and Trent, though I hope they don't hook up again anytime soon. It'll just seem like too much of a cop-out. Still, The Chefshank Redemption and The Aftermath: II both really got me into shipping Gwen with DJ, and those same episodes show a lot of good evidence for her and Duncan as well. I still like Gwen/Geoff too, even if Geoff is sort of an asshole himself now and there's little chance he'll break off with Bridgette.

And... yeah, I still like Duncan/Courtney (a lot more than Gwen/Trent, for sure). I'm still waiting to see how that gets played out. I'd hate for the fandom to affect my mind too much, because the majority of the annoying parts of the fandom consist of rabid Duncan/Courtney shippers. They're sort of the rabid Pokeshippers of the fandom. Or TyKa shippers if you want a Beyblade analogy. Or Takari shippers if you want a Digimon analogy. You know. Like, otherwise sensible ships (even though I hate Pokeshipping and TyKa) that are made very unappealing due to the fact that their fanbase sucks ass.

Doesn't help that a lot of Duncan/Courtney shippers of the rabid variety are also adamantly anti-any ship that has Duncan with Courtney with characters other than each other. No matter what ship's in question, I've never liked that point of view.

In fact, it's sort of funny watching the fanbase overreact when a couple's broken up. The show is called Total Drama, people. You don't get much drama with couples that have few problems and stick together. Besides, that isn't even very realistic. :') It's development for the better, even if it is stirring up the shit.

And I still can't think of a suitable Courtney equivalent for a Pokemon crossover... or a Noah one. The latter's not as important, but I want the Courtney one to be good since Duncan = Paul. lol bias. Due to the RP, I sort of want to make Silver Courtney, except they really don't match in personality at all and everyone's been from the anime continuity so far. Though incorporating other canons wouldn't be a bad idea, necessarily. I mean, that way it'd be easier to fill in some more interesting characters for the Katie/Sadie roles (even if those two aren't interesting or relevant themselves).

Because I'll probably draw this someday. I really suck at drawing Total Drama style, but I totally wanna draw this at some point.

I'm almost 10k into Trifecta 9, and I want to try focusing more on it since we're about halfway through July now. Like I said, largely the RP just distracts me, but getting behind schedule isn't much of a bad thing. It was sort of scaring me to be pumping out chapters at the rate I was. 70k words in 2 months is just... ouch. That plus finally spending some time in the pool and tanning out has made me feel a bit more at ease.

There's that and my monthly hell has come by to visit as of yesterday, it hurts like hell, nothing beyond a narcotic makes a bit of difference guys, and augh god end it already. So if I'm spacey and am not reacting much to your call-outs, that would be why.

So yeah, hello to my new people I met thanks to battlestandby being a dickweed~! So yo insanepurin, suporma, otaku_attack, and autumnrain! This is Shin's life. Full of blunt, vicious tl;dr and no LJ-cut to save you. :')

I'm not pleased about having to wait until next week for that Team Galactic episode preview. That's the sorrow of not living in Japan, of course. Won't get to enjoy Movie 12 until next year, gotta wait an extra week for some good fanfic-relevant canon material to go by... them's the breaks. I wonder if I should fire up Keyhole TV next Thursday anyway and watch Movies 10 and 11 in raw Japanese just for the hell of it. I guess I need to fill that 6 AM void somehow since I often don't fall asleep at least until then.

Oh snap, and Another One Gabites the Dust is tomorrow, isn't it? Shiiiiiiit. Gotta stay up through the morning and watch that somehow. Dubbed Ulala! Who I think most will peg as "Ursula" but we'll just have to see about that!

Oh yeah, nice to hear that Eusine will be making it to the HG/SS remakes after all! Since I never legitimately played the original GSC (my cousin has Gold, but this was before I was even into Pokemon), I have legitimate excitement with the remakes! I wasn't sure what version to get, but I think the RP is giving me a sign and telling me it must be SoulSilver now. I COULD NOT POSSIBLY IMAGINE WHY THE GODS ARE TELLING ME SO.

That'll be fun, though. I'm still 487/493 on Pokemon Diamond, and it's only Legendaries left I need to get. So if it's... six left I need to get, those culprits would be Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Celebi, Latios, and Arceus.

Everything else I've gotten, amazingly. Or, y'know, traded-traded back with. Still. Fuckin' impressive.

I am breeding mystery eggs for once, so if anybody wants some, hit me up on IMs and I'll go WiFi on your asses. Maybe even for a battle. Depending on who you are, I'll either kick your ass or get totally raped by you.

And since my new buds are from Pokemon fandom goodness, I'll go ahead and mention that I did do a detailed analysis of DP128 and 129 with some high-quality screenshots over yonder. I also did a shitload of screencaps for DP131 and 132, but those were mainly for icons. Guess I can post them if they're wanted. Yes, I do fuck with the colors because that's how Shin rolls in these parts.

She is a saturated color whore.

Um... I am very very bummed out about the WWE situation. Forgot to wish Shelton Benjamin a happy 34th birthday yesterday, dammit. But yeah, I'm like AUGH about Edge tearing his Achilles tendon and having to be out until early next year. Right after he got into a sexy tag-team alliance with Jericho, too. Poooo... I mean, Christian and Shelton are trapped in ECW now. What the shit. And I'm sure it's no secret that I'm looking forward to Jeff Hardy leaving as soon as possible (of his own accord, apparently) but they'll probably keep him around now because of this. I am disappointed that we'll have no more Lilian Garcia after this year too, but she is getting married and all... she's invested many years in WWE. It'll just not sound right not hearing her voice on Raw after she leaves. It sort of feels like the pain of knowing that Trish Stratus (still my favorite Diva ever) was retiring. She would be gone, but she was going out while being totally on the top and she was leaving to start her new phase in life, which was to get married. So it's like... gah, I'll miss seeing her, but I feel guilty missing her because I know she's moved onto bigger and better things.

It's always complicated with wrestling. Very inconvenient things always seem to happen just as the story gets good. I guess it'll be nice to keep Legacy around for a while longer. Unlike the majority of the fanbase, I'm much more interested in Ted Jr. than Cody Rhodes. I'm not sure if this is due to bias because I love Ted Sr. and the Jr. looks a lot like young!Randy Orton, or if because I really didn't like Cody Rhodes at first because he was an annoying, bland babyface who was inexplicably winning over more experienced guys (including Shelton) before he turned heel and became more tolerable.

Still, it is a very amusing little group of fail because Randy is so turning into Triple H and the irony of that is fucking hilarious. Randy in general's just become a guy you love to hate, too. He pretty much makes Raw, totally. Raw was KICKASS this week largely due to Ted Sr. being in it and it'll be interesting next week with Dusty Rhodes running the show (this formula of letting random guys be GM for the week is really spicing up the show, much as I miss Vickie Guerrero). Still, Ted Sr. was totally fucking great. Gotta love how he rants about how he HATES the common man because he's so rich... then follows it up with an evil laugh. :') Father-son drama was so, so cool too. I think my friends and I talked about how we were able to relate to Randy's underlings as to explain our preferences. I mean sure, it's cool that Cody's a gamer and likes Legend of Zelda in particular... but Ted Jr.'s a rich, spoiled brat. I was a rich, spoiled brat until I was 14 years old. That shit's in my blood. ♥ And as much of a jerk as my dad was and still is... he's got an awesome evil laugh, too.

So~! That's my rant! I think I'll try out this Rosetta Stone thingy to please my unstable mother before attempting to get myself together long enough to write some stuff before it's time for WWE Smackdown and some awesome replaying of Super Mario Galaxy.

god I can't wait for Galaxy 2.

So here we are, a little more than a week after Anime Expo started and while the let down isn't that bad per say, returning to business as usual is a tic on the disappointing side.

( Where to start? )

So that's mostly it. While I managed to get plenty of shots of other cosplayers, I didn't catch any of us in costume on film. So once I finish some image processing and settling in, I'll have some pix posted. Also pending the DSL at my house getting fixed. So if I'm not seen online for a couple days, it's cause my internets have failed. I'm actually posting this using the hotel wifi! Anyway, I'm gonna flop and relax... this keyboard sucks to type on.

An almost brand new Kon costume looking for a new home. See below the cut for details.

Well, those are of relevant fandoms, anyway. I got bored already.

It always seems to rain on July 4th over here. Like mother nature itself is going out of its way to ruin the fireworks for this particular state every single year. At least I'm not going to spend time with my dad's side of the family this time around, which makes me not really care about the state of the weather now.

Now that I'm not being shoved into any family gatherings on my mom's side the family, I should take this slow period of RPing to my advantage and actually write some stuff.

WON'T THAT BE NICE.

Small Ichigo Figurine for Sale.
Others include Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, FullMetal Alchemist, and Naruto.



If anyone's interested then stop by my lj, currysellsstuff .

After reading the chapter and realizing shit finally started happening, I had a little chart to update, and figured I'd share with you all because it is just so cool.

( Cut for 364 spoilers, big image, and awesome shit )

This just made me the happiest girl in the world for the past few days. And apparently this is CarbonCopyshipping, rather than Spiffyshipping as I originally pegged it, since that seems to only apply to Specialverse Silver. CarbonCopy is at least a much more suitable name in this situation. XD

Speaking of ship names, the neverending list of ship names for Pokemon got updated yesterday. I finally went ahead and decided to name some of my own for the first time, and they all went through clear as a while! They're officially on the list. So I actually coined:

LameBrainshipping: Barry x Conway. They're going to interact a lot in Trifecta (whenever Barry actually appears); had this in mind for ages, then decided to name it early since the "lamebrain" term was used in a line during the dub of the first Iron Island episode, if I'm not mistaken... and it's very interchangeable. Barry IS a lamebrain, Conway is lame since he's a nerd but also very brainy because of that.

DPGSshipping: Ash x Paul x Gold x Silver. Mainly based on the antics going on in both dear_mun and pokedressing. It's obviously short for DiamondPearlGoldSilver, so the four boys are representing the games in that order, even if Ash and Paul aren't from the games. Paul's dub name's at least BASED off Pearl, and Ash went ahead and decided to look like Lucas for this series anyway.

RnBshipping: Roark x Reggie. Because they're childhood friends in Trifecta and I'm kinda surprised no one named this yet, considering the other wacky nevermets that've gotten named. RnB, outside of being a music genre, is mainly Trifecta-based as well. Roark and Reggie have names that begin with R, and their dads' names both begin with B (Brandon and Byron). Thus, R and B!

Trifectashipping: Brandon x Byron x Palmer. In which I become a huge fucking egomaniac. Obviously named after the fic and the fact that in said fic, these three are childhood friends that stood the test of time. They'll be getting flashback segments of their childhood later on in the story.

Shatteredshipping: Paul x Soul (HGSS Girl). I actually didn't name this, but I was involved in the naming process, and it's specifically because of my Paul that the pairing was named this way. In the DR, Soul accidentally bumped into Paul and this eventually resulted in Paul's usual stream of insults that made Soul cry and run off. She later tore up a bit of her guidebook afterwards because of what he said as well. ♥ I suppose he came close to "shattering" her dreams. :')


Aaaaand... it's July. How is Trifecta 9 doing?

... 7,244 words!!

Yeah, amazing, right? I estimated to have this fic done before July, but it's still not even close. Mainly, I do blame the RP, but this isn't entirely a bad thing. Being technically behind my schedule means I won't have to pace myself before the dub of DP118 comes out. So that makes it easier on me. I'm also largely RPing with Paul, meaning that muse stays sharp as a knife, meaning the writing quality won't suffer. I still know what's all gonna go down, so it's just a matter of getting my head in the game.

It's good I got my ritalin dosage upped and I can get it today. The current dosage I was on really was wearing off, as I'm becoming distracted by music and background noises again. So I'm reverting back to my inattentive self. Hopefully this'll change soon with the higher dosage.

Also, Total Drama Action is back with new episodes in Canada! So it's double-duty in that department and I should start actually doing things on TDW again. You'd think they'd give me a holler on my Talk page if they really needed me (since I do get email alerts for them). I've made that clear, so if they don't contact me, I figure I'm not needed~! I was getting a little burned out, so a break is nice to have. I've been working off-and-on TDW since what, December?

Of course I'll still be watching the episodes and loving them. I may even go out of my way to continue providing the high-quality screencaps for the new material since I'm pretty much the best source to go to beyond the official sources themselves (and they're finally giving out some of their official art). I'm just really tired of having to re-space pages out over and over again because some users can't seem to understand the concept of aesthetic appeal and how CRAPPY pages look when the seconds are disjointed and pictures are overlapping the fucking text.

That's really the worst part of it outside of the vandalism. But it's cool, it's cool.

Courtney is officially back, the elimination is quite surprising and I think LeShawna's getting a little bit of foreshadowing. I think the Killer Grips have won a grand total of one time since the teams were formed, anyway. Uber Courtney is probably going to destroy them.

I'll be keeping an eye on our US TDA since it seems they ARE still editing the dialog (Alien Resur-eggtion got one edited line), and that means Beach Blanket Bogus is definitely going to get some edited dialog since crap/sucking are quite present in that episode. It's a shame. I was hoping since 6teen's gone by almost completely unedited that CN would leave TDA as-is, but I guess that's not the case.

Anime-wise, seems we're getting a bit of a break on the plot in D/P, though I've got my eye out on that upcoming Galactic episode that'll be airing just before Movie 12 is released. I'm sure I won't be done with Chapter 10 by then, so all will be well.

I've even doodled a bit, but that's backburner stuff because huminahuminahumina things are going LIKE CRAZY these days! Even finally got to enjoy the pool this week... to a degree (it was windy so Shin was freezing ♥;). Hopefully more nasty weather will be back so I can enjoy the pool better.

also whyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyyyy was Shelton Benjamin put back on ECW?! Why do they hate me so?! That means I'll actually have to WATCH ECW again if I want to see him! Goddammit!!

Oh yeah. And jobs. I shouldn't keep forgetting that I don't have one. Derp. Okay I'm done.

Showtime. In about 12 hours or so, I'll be heading to Anime Expo 2009. Or more accurately, heading to pickup cubanb from the airport. Then I'll be going to the hotel, getting my badge and then prolli making a second trip back to the house before heading back to the hotel for the night. It seems I can't escape my yearly fate of bringing some of my cosplaying work to the hotel room; tho in my defense, my attempt to avoid said fate ended up being kinda half-assed this year. Better luck in 2010?

Again for the record, I still don't feel any different than I was when I was 14... except I've actually done some of the stuff I'd only read fanfics about. Oh yeah and I can legally do stuff that I've been doing since I was 14.

Prolli will be updating or doing something via the mini-lappy from the con. For those of you coming, see you there. For those not, hope to see ya next year. And those that NEVER plan to go; well, I'll prolli see you when I get back.

After 6-7 long years of shopping at the S&M Shopping Arcade, the shops there have finally moved out. Ownership of the building has changed and everyone's required to move and and pack their bags.
Now i'm not normally dissapointed about something.. like this but this is the place where I get my anime dvds, comics, games & gaming accessories for years. Of course i'd be a little dissapointed :( Visited the place yesterday only to find half of the entrance blocked, leaving only movers to move their things out. The mall was dark compared to its usual bright lights :(

sigh where do i get cheap stuff now. I'll have to do some research on this.

Mabi related, got that 100w coupon thing, and gonna use that money to get loads of elemental removers and potions etc to get an ego spirit weapon. First thing to do is to find a lvl 100 weapon to start the mission. I'll search tonight to see if there's any luck in getting one, or else i'd have to level up a bow myself and that's going to take... lots of time.

Umineko no Naku Koro Ni vol.1 is damn good. I only read the manga though, I haven't actually played the game. Seeing as the scanlation stopped in the end of vol.1, I might look around for signs of vol.2 (game/manga?). I think i'll watch the anime too.

I just completed the normal mode for Pop Town for the NDS. I suppose I was mostly attracted to this game since it has an option to buy clothes & acc. and dress up your main character.

Also ordered this yummy nendoroid of Saber Lily & Arawn!
